description

Some addresses, but of greater interest are the lists of some of CSP's scientific journals "My writings on the Validity of Reasoning" notes on construction work at Arisbe "Octavo copies of my writings in the breakfast room" meanings of the verb "give" "To calculate the height of Aurora according to H. A. Newton." Some undated reflections: "I like and esteem the man who knows when to resign a game of chess, and does not insist upon protracting it to a tedious and melancholy mate. I like and esteem the man who gives Death a cordial shake of the hand when the time comes, and having fought a good fight, does not finish it with a feeble, frittering, factious, fretful, futility." And: "Intellectual value lies wholly in form, not matter."
